All hell is breaking loose, it seems. Worst every day! :(
Western governments tell nationals to leave Libya; Germans and Dutch closing embassies | Great people and beautiful country (was there back in 98)! Let's hope they get their act together sooner than later! RN |

That being said, the situation within Libya does not look too promising, unlikely things will get any better until one side or both runs out of firecrackers, but that will take awhile... |
Thank you both, Chris and Andrasz, for the detailed explanation. Basically, I was confused by the information of the local media which reported that the incident took place on the border between the two countries. I was looking for the exact location, but I did not find it. In particular, I forward information within the meaning, warning travelers to avoid the above-mentioned areas. Well, now the security situation in Libya is disastrous.

Algeria and Egypt are planning to send troops into Libya.
The Algerians are already there from what I hear. |
Where have you got these infos?

If you keep your ear to the ground you hear things...
Sisi's first foreign trip as President was a short and rather low-key visit to Algeria. I don't think it was just to discuss World Cup results with Bouteflika. |

(I'm speaking about Algerians now in Lybia) Except if this is confirmed by a "reliable" media, for me, it's only speculations... But it can be true (like a lot of other speculations). RR |
Let's just say I have heard it from a well connected source who usually has more insight into what's happening in Algeria than the media channels.
Of course I'm not in a position to be able to confirm or deny this rumor, but it does sound plausible. However the operation is likely to only affect the immediate border zone, I doubt that the Algerian military would want to get involved with the intra-militia squabbles. |
Well apart from rumours in Djanet and Sebha it is in the media
Libye : Probable intervention militaire d’Alger ou du Caire - Actualité - El Watan foreigners are leaving Libya en masse BBC News - Diplomat to oversee mass Filipino evacuation from Libya Algerian army also made a deal with Tunisia and have sent thousands of soldiers into Tunisia (Mount Chaambi) http://www.elwatan.com//une/l-engage...266833_108.php |
Aaah, the rumour seems more reliable....

Hello everyone,
I have bad news, people we know in Tripoli are now letting us know that it's starting to go full scale gunfights in the city. Bombings/RPG attacks and further. Not evrywhere and not all the time. In the more eastern part all the big cities are getting hammered. So Libya is going the bad way. sakke |
Libyan friends of mine who are in touch with their relatives in Libya say it is getting worse everyday and fighting is everywhere. some have even cancelled their holidays to Libya because of the security problem.

Below, a map posted a couple of weeks ago by

It'll be a very long time before we can go back on holiday to Libya... :(
